    Roku Channel LiveTV Channels List Print

    (Guide updated September 27, 2025) Note: There appears to be an error/bug of two channels with same number of 501 being available this month. To swap between them, just select ch.500 or ch.502 and then select the desired ch.501 you want. (hopefully Roku will address this error). Below is a printable/viewable guide for the Roku Channel linear Live TV lineup with their assigned numbers. Will generally try to do a monthly update unless I notice significant changes have been made to the lineup. I have posted these reference files to an encrypted storage site (mega.nz). You can review and download the most recent pdf (print), and source Libre Office .ods (spreadsheet) files there. Feel free to edit and do whatever else you want with the files. Let me know if you run into any issues. https://mega.nz/folder/7HZXyJxa#YqdXb_ApQHIjfvzMY4mHeQ <--Download files. If your Roku Live TV guide is missing the channel numbers (ie. only showing channel icons), launch the Live TV guide, navigate to the left over to where the channel icons are, and press the asterisk (*) button on Roku remote. Select 'Sort Channel List', then select 'By Channel number'. Click on image to enlarge. (sample page from guide).

    Shows on Roku Channel Suddenly go Black

    I've been experiencing a really odd problem. If I'm watching shows OTA, via my digital antenna, then switch to a Roku streamed Channel, the show on the Roku Channel will within 30 seconds, suddenly go dark, then I'll see a spinning figure, and the channel seems to completely disconnect! However, if I go to a Roku Channel, from my OTA channel, then go to another Roku Channel, no shut down occurs, so it's only when I go directly to a Roku Channel from an OTA channel! This is pretty crazy, as there's no reason for this to occur, and it's quite an inconvenience, what's going on?

    Fanduel app freezes while watching live

    Good morning. I am currently having issues streaming the Fanduel Sports App on my Roku tv. The app freezes and when it does play the audio is 30-45 seconds faster than the video. I have reset the tv multiple times. I have done a factory reset on the tv. I have reset the modem several times. We stream using T-MOBILE 5G. I did an wifi test several times and it comes back as 110.1 Mbps download and 10.5 Upload. I am at my witts end here. I did reach out to fanduel as well and they are pretty much useless with their customer service. They claim there is nothing wrong on their end with the app it has to be my roku tv. This is a 65" ONN Roku tv. I have a 55" TLC Roku tv in my bedroom that the app works fine on...... Any help or advise would be much appreciated.....

    Digital Theatre not loading

    I watch Digital Theatre shows on a TV using a Roku Express device, and have had no problems until the last few days, but now when I go into the DT app on the Roku, it loads normally and offers me the usual range of shows, I select one, then go to "play" and I just get a prolonged "loading" circle, then after a minute or so the screen goes blank, and the app is unresponsive. I have restarted the Roku, I have deleted and reloaded the DT app, it makes no difference. Every other app on my Roku is working normally, BBC iplayer, NT at Home etc. I have another later generation Roku Express on another TV and exactly the same is happening. If I go into DT on my PC I can play shows in the browser without any problem. Has anyone else had a problem like this?

    NBA app crashes within seconds

    Hello all, I have a Roku device that plugs into my TV. I recently installed the NBA app again and after a few seconds of running content, it crashes. If I am moving around within the app, it is fine; however, once I start to stream content, it will crash within seconds. Need advice. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall. Thank you.

    Youtubetv black screen with word "loading"

    When viewing Youtubetv and I press the back button I get a black screen no sound and the word "loading". This never happened before. Youtubetv told me to do a factory reset of Roku device. Will this fix the issue?

    Blank Screen on Roku after an update

    Hello, Ever since the 14.5.4 5944 update was auto installed my streaming stick no longer works, I have done all the troubleshooting (power cycles, diff HDMI port, etc) except a factory reset which I would like to avoid. On power up I see and hear the bouncing "Roku" logo fine, but then the screen goes black and a quick white "flash" appears before the TV tells me there is no signal. If I connect to the stick on the phone app at this time, I can "trick" into showing the home screen on the TV, which is how I found out that this started the day of the latest update. Apparently the home screen will eventually appear, but only after ~10 minutes leaving it on to hopefully let it fix itself with a patch (Haha). Either way, the image on the TV is now filled with distortion lines and static, and playing anything is accompanied by a loud "cracking" sound and unwatcheable, This is for every channel we have loaded and the home screen. Please help. Thank you.

    NFL does NOT work on my Roku Ultra, but does work on my TLC Roku TV and other Roku devices

    I have a home with seven televisions. Five of which have Roku devices (two Roku Ultras, two Roku expresses, and one TLC Roku TV. The NFL app works just fine on four of them, but not one of my Roku Ultras. I have tried deleting the app, unplugging the Roku Ultra, restarting the Roku Ultra, etc. but to no avail. all other apps work just fine. I even tried moving the Roku Ultra to another room closer to the router, but still the same problem. Below are the specs of my Roku Ultra where the NFL app is not working: model: 4660X serial #: YJ00**bleep** (not sure if this whole number is needed, but this seems to be unique) software version: 14.6 build 4.9914-46 Device ID: CK392**bleep** (not sure if this whole number is needed, but this seems to be unique) edit: after uninstalling and restarting my Ultra, the NFL app no longer works on ANY of my roku devices. what gives?

    Closed Captions Not Working After Commercial Breaks

    On the Roku Channel app on a TCL FireTV, Model # TCL_43S450F; Closed captions are not working after every commercial break. System restart/update have no effect. In addition, the options normally visible when the OK/Select button is pushed (Captions and Audio track, Watch from beginning, and Next) are missing after these breaks. Captions and the missing options can only be restored by watching playback without captions for a few seconds, then selecting the Back button, then Resume. If back button is pressed too quickly after a commercial break ends, a new commercial will play and captions will still be missing. This appears to be a Roku glitch, not a TV problem.
